. Practical anatomy of the rabbit : an elementary laboratory textbook in mammalian anatomy . Rabbits; Anatomy, Comparative. The Skeleton of the Anterior Limb. i6i t slender portion—-the so-called neck of the scapula (coUum scap- ulae)—connecting it with the body of the bone. It bears a concave depression, the glenoid cavity (cavitas glenoidalis), for articula- tion with the humerus. The articulating surface is borne chiefly on that part of the bone corresponding to the axillary border, but it also extends iii an anterior direction to the base of an overhanging pro- jection, the coracoid process (pro- cessus coracoideus). The free por- tion of the latter forms a blunt, hook-like projection lying toward the medial surface of the bone. THE CLAVICLE. The clavicle (clavicula) is imper- fectly developed in the rabbit, con- sisting of a slender, arcuate rod of bone, tipped,by cartilage, which lies in the interspace between the manu- brium sterni and the head of the humerus. It occupies only a portion of this interspace, being attached me- dially by the sternoclavicular liga- ment and laterally by the cleido- humeral ligament. THE Fig. 67. Anterior surface of the left humerus: c, capitulum; , head of humerus; and , lateral and medial epicondyles; ., radial fossa; , deltoid tuberosity; , intertuber- cular groove; , trochlea humeri; and , lesser and greater tubercles. The humerus (Fig. 67) is typical of the long bones of the proximal and middle segments of the fore and hind limbs in consisting of a central portion, the body or sliaft of the bone, and of proximal and distal extremities for muscle attachment and articulation. The proximal extremity bears on its medial side a smooth, convex projection, the head of the humerus (caput humeri), for articulation with the scapula. The articulation is nominally a ball-and-socket. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally
